"Hinds has an excellent grip on its particular brand of hazy, jangly music, and uses the razor's edge between mellow and melancholy to maximum effect. They wield their tools with the easy confidence of beginners without sounding like amateurs." - NPR Music   "This great garage-rock crew from Madrid folds decades of naïf-rock history into its craftily shambling tunes - from riff-scraping contemporaries like Ty Segall to early-1990s International Pop Underground stars like the Vaselines and Thee Headcoats, right on back to 'Wild Thing.'" - Rolling Stone (3.5 stars)   "...the year's buzziest indie breakout." - Entertainment Weekly   "Though recorded in southern Spain, the lo-fi tracks, with lyrics in English, have a distinctly American garage-rock feel." - New York Times: T Magazine   "These tracks show off what truly sets Hinds apart: Cosials and Perrote's shared vocal responsibilities, which fit together perfectly... [Hinds' chose to challenge themselves on their debut LP Leave Me Alone, and the decision pays off." - Pitchfork (7.5)   Hinds' unleashed Leave Me Alone - their monster of a debut album that is already being lauded as one of the best indie rock records of 2016 - earlier this month, and today they announce a U.S. Spring tour. Including their return to SXSW, Hinds will bring the Mediterranean sun and their raucous, high-energy, and down-right exciting live show Stateside this March. Anyone who has ever been to a Hinds show - no, a Hinds PARTY - will tell you: this tour is not to be missed. See below to find a gig near you, and PRESS HERE to purchase tickets on Friday.   Inspired by the likes of Mac DeMarco, Ty Segall, The Black Lips and more, Hinds have taken the garage rock sound that they love so much and flipped it on its head, infusing fresh life into it on their incredible debut. Weaving sun-kissed, 60's-inspired melodies, executed with a genius call-and-response between co-vocalists and band co-founders Perrote andCosials, Hinds create the ultimate soundtrack to the best day ever - from start to finish - spent with your four best friends on Leave Me Alone. It's no wonder the album has already hit #1 on Billboard's Alternative New Artist Album chart, #3 on the Top New Artist Album and #4 on Heatseekers.
